Coco the van is beautiful inside and outside corks and all. So lovely that it works with your family, even as your family grows in age. Thank you for sharing.❤
Love you guys even more now ! We have a 1986 207D autotrail camper lovingly named Bumble who successfully toured Brittany and got us home to Blighty in June. Vintage camper are the best ! Hope you have lots more happy travels in Coco
What a dream travel van find! Becs, Jack and family are truly blessed! You were missed the past week, but happy to see your adventures were only expanding your borders.
Something about loading the fam in a vehicle and heading off for adventure…keep a log in the camper of your travels it will be priceless to look back on. Much happiness to you!
i love coco you've so much freedom i've always wanted a camper van although i think my family are glad i haven't got one they'd never see me again 😂 or maybe not 😘
Oh Coco is very charming! Am currently reading a book about Coco Chanel's life, so it's very interesting to see all the leather interior made from the House of Chanel 😉. Just gorgeous. I love all the extra footage you include from your trips to Brico Depot, the brocante stores, plant centres and your latest holiday. It makes such interesting viewing. Thank you.😊
Yeah we almost didn’t believe him until he showed us all the bags and wallets he’s made, makes for such a cool story and unique interior! Glad you like all those bits, it’s definitely fun to include a bit of the regular life parts too 🥰
Hi Becs and Jack! Always thrilled to see you. Love your friends vibe and happy to see you have some help! And COCO! You two never cease to amaze me😄. Road trips are my Favorite ,as I can’t walk from MS, so I think I’m gonna show my husband this video. We always said we would rent a van and this should give us the nudge😅. I would Love to swim in all those rivers! You are both so lucky to have found each other, you mirror each others creativity and adventure, so sweet. The memories your kids will have! Becs, you and your sister look so much alike❤. Gotta get a rain point! So clever! Till next time. Take care❤❤❤
Hi Kathy 👋 Sorry to hear about your MS, but yes do show hubby the video and absolutely get a van! It's such fun, and the rivers are amaaazing. We have an app that shows us all the good wild swimming spots in France, then we find the closest place to park up for the night ❤️ It's like magic. It was wonderful having Bastien and Marion round to help, we had so many laughs together and the hedge was free so much quicker than we expected. Would definitely recommend the RainPoint - it was a breeze to set up and has worked perfectly 🍓🍓 See you next time! 🥰
@@growinginfrance Oh I’d love an App like that. Get me close enough to Any water and I’m in it! I feel so free in it and can swim, sort of😅, for hours! I live near the Atlantic Ocean but I can’t swim in it anymore but any river or stream, Yes!
Coco is a gentle giant, love her! Your veggie garden is looking lush but I noticed a couple of yellow tips on your tomato plant’s leaves. I would remove those leaves as it could be blight. I am in the Vienne and already have had signs of tomato blight such as yellow and black spots. My plants are holding up well but I check every day and remove dodgy leaves to make sure the plants stay well for as long as possible. I got a nice tomato haul today. 😊
Well done! Not much better than a good haul of tomatoes 🍅 cheers for the tip, we’ll be all over them 👍 we had some rough luck a couple of summers back and all but one plant got wiped out, won’t let that happen again!
Only just found out about your videos just as we are about to leave the Charente after 10 years and returning to NZ. We will however be buying a camper when we get there and have a different adventure, its great that you are having both and your latest podcast has inspired us to rent a camper when we next visit France! Did you know that in Charme a village not far from us (north of Angouleme) the yearly village fete is a Hangi and the next one is on Saturday the 10th, you should come if you can, its always great fun and the French love it. Looking forward to your next video ☺
Oh yes we read about that! This might just be the year when we check it out ❤️ thanks for the suggestion. That’s awesome you’re gonna get a camper, it is such an amazing way to see France (or anywhere)
LOL I love it! You f’ed them up! No! You f’ed them up! My grandson is non-verbal Asperger’s Syndrome (Level 1 Autism) Now at 4 yrs old he’s starting to use some words which usually includes quite a few curse words. The other night he was walking through the den with his momma (my daughter) and he pointed at the toys all over the floor and said to his momma…. Clean! She said, You clean! He said, No, big ass mess! 😂😂😂
Haha we’re actually saying « you popped them up » but I totally hear how it sounds a bit different now 😅 might explain why a couple of people unsubscribed from this one 😂 too it grandson sounds hilarious, thanks again for a comment that gave us a good laugh!
@@growinginfrance HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I listened to that part three times and never heard the word popped! It sounds totally different to my southern USA ears! 🤣🤣🤣 I hate some people are so uptight they feel the need to unsubscribe over a word. Y’all keep on being YOU. I tell my adult kids often…Life is about the journey not the destination. We all end up at the same destination one day, so enjoy the journey, find the fun and the funny in whatever situation you face.
Yes the whole place is ours 😅 the big house is our long term renovation project once we’ve done some practice on the long house - there’s a full tour of it on the channel if you want to look inside 😉
Coco is a beauty despite all her quirks ❤
Too true! She has certainly been a bit more than we bargained for, but the journeys she has taken us on have been well worth it!
Coco the van is beautiful inside and outside corks and all. So lovely that it works with your family, even as your family grows in age. Thank you for sharing.❤
Your Camper is a Beauty, Lucky you.

That rain point is just too genius 🙌🥰🎉

That is the best camper I’ve ever seen!
That's what I said when Becs showed me the listing! Haha glad you like her too 🥰

Yay! That's the best thing to hear Jane, exactly why we love sharing it ❤️
i love coco you've so much freedom i've always wanted a camper van although i think my family are glad i haven't got one they'd never see me again 😂 or maybe not 😘
Hahaha we definitely sometimes think about just not going home when we're out in Coco, it's such a wonderful sense of freedom 🤩 Glad you love her too!
Just when I thought I couldn’t love you guys anymore 🙌🥰 we also spent Covid watching van life and sailing live aboards 😂
Haha always a great coping mechanism! And now look at us both! 🥰🤩
Coco and the strawberries are fantastic, happy holidays x
Thanks! Happy holidays to you too ❤️

@@kathyeyesopen4078 We are totally with you, the ocean has its moments, but the rivers are where it's at! ❤
Just discovered and subscribed. Omg, I love Coco! I’m so glad you did not rip out the her beauty. ❤
No way! We don’t want to change a thing about her 🥰 so glad you love her too!
Awesome sauce for sure. Love Coco. Thanks for sharing.
What a treasure she is!!🎪
Thanks, we love her!

Yes indeed I remember that summer. I lost all my tomato plants. It was bad!
Love the van!
Thanks!

Beautiful video. I've just found you. Hang in there; the channel will grow! Hi from an Australian family who did the "children years" in Europe.
Hi Wendy! Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video 😍. That’s so cool, whereabouts in Europe ?
Kia ora, I love watching your journey and how chill you two are. Coco is stunning I love her! How much was she plz?
Kia ora! Thanks for the comment! Campers are really expensive over here, take a guess then double it 😱
🥰🇺🇲✌️Have a great trip✌️🇺🇲🥰
With Coco, we always do! She makes sure of it haha 😂❤️
I’ve only started watching your older videos and am wondering does the big house adjoined to the long house also belong to you
Yes the whole place is ours 😅 the big house is our long term renovation project once we’ve done some practice on the long house - there’s a full tour of it on the channel if you want to look inside 😉
@@growinginfrance thanks will do
Coco’s gorgeous! You and your sister look so alike. Twins?
Thanks Jenni! haha yeah we hear that a lot, but there's actually 3 years between us 😁
@@growinginfrance and Becs is obviously the younger☺️
Tattoo's are cool .... U get them in the Navy 🤣
😂 Cheers!
